Follow instructions from the Department of Campus Safety & Security for immediate action

Minor or area flooding of campus is a more likely scenario. This could be the result of major, multiple rainstorms, or a water-main break. In the case of imminent minor, weather-related flooding, the University Emergency Response Team will monitor the National Weather Service and other emergency advisories to determine necessary action such as evacuation of areas and cancellation of classes. In case of water-main failure, affected areas of campus need to be evacuated immediately. In this case, refer to theEvacuationsection of this guide.

During an Evacuation

Listen to a battery-operated radio for evacuation and emergency instructions.

If advised to evacuate, do so immediately. Remember to help anyone who needs assistance.

Follow recommended evacuation routes--shortcuts may be blocked.

Leave early enough to avoid being marooned by flooded roads. Evacuation is much simpler and safer before flood waters become too deep.

If you are in a car and it stalls, abandon it immediately and climb to higher ground. Many deaths have occurred from attempts to move stalled vehicles.

If walking, climb to high ground and stay there. Avoid walking through flood waters. If it is moving swiftly, even water six inches deep can sweep you off your feet.

After a Flood

Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede. Listen to a radio or television, and do not return to area until authorities indicate it is safe to do so.
